That does not look right. The sensor should be flushed to the rim. These images do not have a good angle but I hope you get the idea.

Hello, thanks for the reply.
I actually message TPMS direct and they told me it's NOT supposed to touch the surface of the rim since every wheels has different barrel.

Stop stalling and show us those damn beautiful wheels!!!

Not supposed to touch the barrel however it should generally run parallel to the barrel.

I think you can adjust the angle on those.

This post seems to have an appropriate title for my TPMS related question. I am looking at OEM TPMS sensors for the M2 (2018, LCI). Huf appears to be around $44 a piece and VDO around $55 a piece.

Then I see what riko///m2 posted and that is available on Amazon for $25 a piece. Riko, did you have any issues with this sensor? Did the installer need to do any "programming" to make it work with your M2? TIA.

1. It is out of stock
2. It says "must be programmed prior to install"

So based on point 2 it needs to programmed. The programming units are not cheap so either your fitter needs the tool or better off buying a pre programmed set. I bought a set HUF's pre programmed a while ago, no issues.

Thanks. Looks like only one of the pre-programmed units from Huf (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...BCDVBKB7&psc=1) are available on Amazon; and its back ordered even on Apex Race Parts (https://www.apexraceparts.com/store/...ms-sensor.html).

I'll probably order up the VDO (OE manufacturer) one from FCP Euro.

Late update: mounted my wheels for like 1k miles already and tpms just worked perfectly!

I purchased the sensors from tpms dot com along with 8mm valve stems (for the BBS LM's). It's direct fit, no programming done. I spent a bit more, and it's working good to date.

Beware of fake sensors. They are out there.
